Chapter 1: Special Education Part 1
Rachel POV
I sat in glee class and I cracked up about a joke Finn was telling me that was actually very amusing. Just then Mr. Schue walked in with some files. I stood up and raised my hand slightly and said "Mr. Schuester, I have an announcement. I have selected the perfect moving ballad for Finn and I to launch our performance at Sectionals." I say as I clasp my hands together.
He turns to from the piano and held up a finger then said, "Me first. Two things, first: our competition at Sectionals are your classic stool choirs, great voices but they don't move. Now if we're gonna beat them we need to do what they can't, dance; which is why I've decided to feature Brittany and Mike Chang's sweet moves in our performance." Mr. Schue said
I had to say something, "Wait, they're gonna dance in front of me while I sing my solo?" I asked
"You're not getting a solo for this competition Rachel." He said to me and I felt my face go pale and I might have emotionally shut down for a second. I might have. I just looked at him for a second.
"Finally," Mercedes said "So what song do I get to sing?" she asked excitedly and I rolled my eyes and fought the urge to either growl or scoff.
"I was thinking that the winners of our 'Duet's Competition' would take the leads." Mr. Schue said and while I wanted to laugh at Mercedes but choke the stupid Barbie. Now as for Sam, he does deserve a solo since he really hasn't gotten any like Quinn I suppose but unlike Quinn I actually like him.
"Ken and Barbie?" I asked incredulously, including Sam so I didn't seem like I was being a bitch specifically to Bitchy Barbie. "Wait a-a-a-are you trying to throw this?" I asked
"You used to be just sort of unlikable but I pretty much feel like punching you every time you open your mouth." Quinn said and I took all I had not to jump her.
I turned to face Mr. Schue angrily and he said, "Ok, listen I have talked the talk about everyone in here feeling special for over a year now but frankly I haven't walked the walk. I mean we have got a lot of talent here. And I'm gonna highlight it." He said and I felt my anger dissipating slowly, although I was still upset over losing my solo to Miss Full Of It behind me.
Didn't mean I couldn't make Finn try to get our solo's back, "Do something." I whispered angrily in his ears I mean I have to give it one more shot before letting this go.
"Look, I'm all for pumping up the team, making everyone feel special but that's for practice." Finn said "You don't take the star quarterback out before the big game." He said
"Yep," I added.
"Easy to say when you're the star quarterback." Tina remarked rudely
"This isn't just about me." Finn said and I could tell he was holding back a sigh "This is about the team." He said
"You are such a hypocrite." Santana said
I scoffed "Like you even know what that means." I say sharply.
"It means that your boyfriend is full of crap hobbit." Santana snapped back
That's it. I stood up out of my chair and faced her. "You know what, ever since the wedding you've been up my butt and I am sick of it." I had to keep myself from choking her.
"Come on Rachel she's not worth it." Finn said as he tried to calm me down.
"Oh really?" Santana asked him "Cause that's not what you thought last year in that motel room." She said as she kept leaning towards him. "That's right hobbit, you're sweetheart, he's been lying to you, cause he and I totally got it on last year." I froze as my blood went cold and I think my heart might have stopped beating for a second.
"Ok enough already, no more conversations about this. O-o-or anything," Mr. Schue said and I felt like I couldn't move, "This is out plan for Sectionals and that is that." He said and I stood standing still as Finn sat there with his head down and it took all I had not to cry. "Mike, Brittany come on up let's start choreographing." He said as the bell rang.
I wasted no time in bolting out of the classroom and started to run as fast as I could to the bathroom that everyone steers clear of because it's sort of the Glee Girls Bathroom because this is where we go to get out the goop when we get 'slushy facials'. I ran in and shut the door behind me and once I made sure no one else was there I locked the door and let myself slide down to the floor. I turned on one of the sink faucets and let the water start running before I let the hard sobs rake through my body.
I know we weren't dating when he did it but that's not it, and although I'm sure someone will say my reason for being so upset is that he did it with Santana but that's not it either. It is the fact that he lied for so long and said that he didn't have sex but he actually did. He lied to me. The one thing I never truly thought he would do especially when things have been so decent as of late. I just can't believe it. I mean how could he?
Because she's prettier than you, a little voice said. I don't want to think that it's true but it might be, I don't know. I hope not.
This is when I need my Drama King, my Kurt. I never thought I could miss him this much when he's only an hour away. An hour too far I thought and even though that didn't entirely make sense, it was entirely true. Dang this sucks. I just sat there and let the tears flow until I couldn't take it anymore and pulled out my phone and texted the only person I could trust right now.
911, I need u R*
I got a reply quickly
What's wrong? –K
With shaky fingers I replied:
Finn… R*
It was all I could type
What did my idiot brother do? –K
He lied 2 me. Said he didn't have sex w/ Santana R*
WHEN DID HE SLEEP W/ HER? –K
Last year when I was gonna sleep with Jesse. He said he didn't but he did R*
If he was lying to u how did u find out? –K
Santana, today in glee R*
Call me ASAP –K
I didn't respond but simply did as he asked for once and called him. It didn't even ring once before he picked up, "I'm going to murder my poor excuse of a brother." Was the first thing out of Kurt's mouth.
"No," I said
"And why not?" he asked and I could hear his getting angrier quickly by the way his voice had raised an octave by the end of the question.
"Because he slept with her when we weren't together, you can't kill him for it, besides prison orange is not your color." I say through sniffling.
"Oh Princess," Kurt said and I can see his frown and worried look forming on the other end of the phone "Don't you dare think that for one second I'm gonna let him get by without giving him hell. Besides wasn't a certain Jewish Diva that sang that to him last year anyways?" Kurt joked. I smiled through my tears.
"Yeah that was me." I say and I can practically hear his smile.
"Good, now wash away those tears and go out of that bathroom I know you must be in be the Amazing Rachel Berry that I know you are." He said and I laughed
"Yes Mr. Warbler." I joke.
"Well if you can joke and be sarcastic I think my job here is done." He says sarcastically and I can just see him doing a little curt nod as if to add 'so there' to it.
"Ok I'll let you go, as long as you promise to be amazing today with the Warblers." I say
"Cross my heart." He said and I smiled
"Bye Drama King, love ya." I say
"Love you too." He said then it was followed by the sound of the call ending.
I can do this.
Kurt POV
I hung up the phone with Rachel and wish that I could be there with her to console her right now, or strangle Finn; either would be fine with me right now. But I swallowed up my anger as I fixed the lapels of my jacket. It's my first day at Dalton Academy and I will rock this. I took hold of the strap of my bag as I walked, more like strutted down the hallway. This place had a zero tolerance of bullying and I already know of a gay guy that's happy to go here, AKA my crush (newly found love of my life even if he doesn't know it), AKA Blaine Anderson.
Dear Gaga he is so perfect. That's the main reason I'm so excited to be here. I can do this. Rachel will kill me if I don't. As I was walking a guy, who I have no idea who he is, raised his hand silently asking for a hi-five, to which I eagerly gave. I couldn't help but stare as he passed me; no one at my old school ever did that, unless it was with a slushy.
I waited outside the Warbler Common Room and once everyone was settled one boy, Wes I think, said, "And now let's welcome the newest addition to the Warblers, Kurt Hummel." From the inside and then the door was open by the boy of my dreams, Blaine Anderson. Everyone was clapping as I walked in and I felt like I was glowing with happiness, not even my own friends were this nice to me or showed me this kind of respect. I gave another guy a hi-five as I walked past him. Suddenly Wes tapped his little hammer thing that judges use. "In our oldest tradition for our newest Warbler, an actual Warbler." Wes said and I was confused.
"Kurt meet Pavarotti." Blaine said to me as I turned my attention him then to the bird in the cage.
"This bird is a member of an unbroken line of canaries who have been at Dalton since 1891." Wes said to me. Blaine started towards me with the bird as Wes spoke "It's your job to take care of him. So he can live to carry on the Warbler legacy. Protect him, that bird is your voice." He said
"Hey I'll bring him to work with me. Weekends I volunteer at a stray cat rescue." I watch them pause and I wanted to laugh. "It's at the bottom of a coal mine." They said nothing, "Oh that was a joke I d-I don't work at a coal mine." I said
"Let the council come to order, today we discuss the set list for Sectionals." Wes said
"Council?" I ask
"We don't have a director. Every year we elect 3 upper classmen to lead the group." Blaine said as I set down Pavarotti. After noticing my hesitation he added, "But don't worry, we all get a say."
I clasp my hands together, "Oh fantastic, I have a lot of ideas. Warblers, if I may, now I can't deny that the Warblers vocals are absolutely dreamy, but I believe our set for Sectionals this year should have a little more show biz panache." I say "I think we should open with 'Rio' by Duran Duran."
I could see Blaine looking at me out of the corner of my eye with that 'how cute' look of his, "Ah, the council is responsible for the song selection." Some boy at the council's table said.
"But we appreciate your enthusiasm Kurt. It'll come in handy one day when you're sitting behind this desk." Wes said "Now, I propose you to our entire set list at Sectionals, an 8 part harmony." He started and I resisted my urge to call him and the two other boys behind the council's desk 'Rachel 2.0s' but they wouldn't understand what I meant but I am so mad that I still don't get a say in this. I stood there and I listened as they went on about what to do for Sectionals and for myself missing my old glee club friends but I had no choice.
I must have zoned out because the next thing I know the boys are filing out and Blaine's in front of me. "Hey have you settled into your dorm yet?" he asked me as I picked up Pavarotti and walked out with him.
"No I haven't." I tell him as we walk.
"Well do you wanna go get your dorm set up or go to the cafeteria and get lunch?" he asked me and I had to keep myself from beaming.
"Get my room set up, I'd like to have it set up so I don't have to sleep in a room of boxes tonight. I say and he laughs and pulls me along to my room. We get to my door and I hand him Pavarotti as I pull my key out of my bag and unlocked my door. We walked in and set Pavarotti on my desk before then we turned on some music.
"What first?" he asked me and I looked around at my bare queen sized bed, piles of boxes, and different pieces of furniture placed haphazardly over the room.
"Clothes first." I say and we start opening boxing I categorized for my clothes. As we worked and hummed to songs I pulled out my phone and sent Diva a text.
Remember just txt if I need to murder any1 –K
It wasn't long before I got:
Will do, no killing needed… yet R*
Whatcha mean? –K
Me and Finn r going 2 c Miss. Pillsbury for counseling :( R*
HA! GL w/ tht –K
I'll need it won't I? LOL R*
"Who you texting?" Blaine asked as he put a jacket in the closet.
"Oh just Rachel, I'm… helping her." I say before texting the girl in mention.
GTG, hanging out w/ Blaine –K
I got a reply instantly
Oooh ok, have fun ;) R*
I fought a smile and put my phone down on my bedside table and got up and started helping Blaine again, "What were you helping Rachel with?" he asked me.
"Well you know how she's dating my brother Finn?" I asked and saw him nod, "Well a while back they had broken up and she was dating this dude named Jesse St. James from Vocal Adrenaline and…" I then I went into detail about she planned to have sex with Jesse but ended up not having sex but it turned out that Finn and Santana did have sex even though the whole time since then up to now Finn had been lying and saying that he was still a virgin and that Rachel only found out because Santana told her.
"Wow, that's… horrible. I feel so bad for Rachel." He said
"Yeah and she won't let me murder Finn even though he soo deserves it." I said with an aggravated huff.
"So whatever happened after that with Rachel and Jesse?" he asked
"Oh that is a story for another day, mainly because Rachel would absolutely kill me if I told you the story without her." I say as I brush it off with the wave of my hand.
"Alright," he said with a small smile as we went back to working on my room.
AN: This is my first Glee fanfiction so I hope you like it and yes this will be a Smytheberry story and he'll come in a couple chapters from now because I had to break the episode up into several parts.
